When it comes down to it, I think all religions are pretty close and at their root value love and understanding...it is when PEOPLE get involved...along with their agendas (conscious or unconscious), distortions and opinions that religion goes bad. We are no longer following the true meaning but someone else's. Remember, the only thing different from a cult and an organized religion is the membership number. Think freely and openly...without pushing your opinions...and you'll find the right way.
i know its not half a page...but its my .02

Nah, I went to church every week for 18 yrs. & it's the biggest bullshit story of allllllll time.
Think about it...religion has actually convinced people that there's an invisible man in the sky who watches everything you do, every minute of every day. And the invisible man has a special list of 10 things he does not want you to do. And if you do any of these 10 things, he has a special place full of fire & smoke & burning & torcher & anguish where he will send you to live & suffer & burn & choke & scream & cry forever until the end of time.... but he loves you....
He loves you & he NEEDS MONEY! He always needs money! He's all powerful, all perfect, all knowing, all wise, but somehow... he's no good with money. Religion takes in billions of dollars, they pay no taxes, but they always need a little bit more. NOW, you talk about a good bullshit story... HOLY SHIT!
I really try to believe in God, I really do. But the older you get, the more you look around & think...something is wrong here. If there is a God, I'm thinkin sometimes....he just doesn't give a shit. So, I try not to be a mindless robot....
